Ideas for the black rear fog light area
 

That thing is really unsightly. Does anyone know if I could get a color matched "Z" put on the thing with vinyl? It would be really cool to get a light up Z put in there or have it light up with the brake light, but that is probably expensive and in some way illegal. Any other ideas besides the fog light that comes on the Euro models. I think that is just as ugly.

Get the fog light, tint it darker, and add a vinyl Z in negative so that the whole thing is black except for the Z showing through when it lights up. People behind you will be so mesmerized by the Z that they will crash.

LOL. Not sure you want them to crash but the rest sounds pretty good.

You could color match the whole thing...I'm thinking of this unless I decide to put an overlay on the whole valence..

PaintScratch Touch-Up Paint (rs), Spray Cans, Spray Paint, Paint Pens, Car Paint, Automotive Paint

Honestly i'm just going to order in the OEM rear fog and install it but not have it functional (yet). Just to make it look like it's something.. and will have the wires tied up waiting for something to make it functional. I'm a freak about JDM parts.. so I've gotta have it!

The all black overlay really is a good option.

I am considering the all black overlay.

I've seen a silver one here that painted the entire bottom piece. They made it look like the diffuser. Also, blacking out the fangs looks really good on a PG. It would look great on a pearl white as well if you have matching black wheels.

Another idea: have a shop cut out that piece and smooth it out!

I'm going to mount a "fleshlight" in it and give her a go.

rofl.... Anyway..... I'm thinkin about just gettin mine painted to match the car, silver, but half thinkin about the foglight conversion too. Much closer to painting it at this point tho.

I recall seeing a thread about a carbon fiber trim piece for that lower area by the exhaust tips. It's just a cosmetic add-on/overlay, but that's the route I would choose.

Here's what I meant earlier. This is DannyGT's 370Z, dropped with AME 19s, without the butthole. I think it looks better without it.

that looks waaaay better.

I wonder how DannyGT got rid of the dummy plate? I guess cut it out smooth over with bondo or something then repaint?

is it real or photoshopped?

A carbon fiber trim overlay that covered the "carved out" area over the exhaust tips would look great! Do you remember where you say that listed?

Just black overlay the whole piece so it looks like a regular diffuser. That's the plan for mine anyway. And while you're at it, some light smoke overlays for the headlights as well.

with an overlay it'll look like this...
its a shitty quality pic but u get the picture ...

The overlay looks good.

Overlay looks good too. It should've come stock like that. The pic I posted is photoshopped. I don't know anyone who has spent $ for a butthole removal. Hahaha

^^^ lol!

Nope, had it bleached, but they couldnt remove it. :D

what what...

Hey buddy, your s**t still stinks :hello: lol

That's ok. Everyone likes the smell of their own brand.

:icon18: Now you're getting weird on us ............. hey, wait a minute, I resemble that remark :icon17:

^ rofl

I don't like the smell of my own brand. In fact, I realize it most after going back into the bathroom 5 minutes later.

:icon18: a few more courtesy flushes might just be a courtesy to yourself :eek:
